GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 557202
when a button is disabled and then enabled again, clicking on this button is ignored

The current behavior, for example in gucharmap, is: - I open the "search" dialog and enter some string - I move the mouse cursor on the "next" button. - I click on the "next" button. - The button flickers a bit, as it is disabled and enabled again. - I click on the "next" button again. The button gets a dotted frame, but its action is not executed, that is, the search doesn't continue. - I move the mouse cursor out of the button and into it again. - I click on the button, and it behaves as intended. So when the mouse cursor is already over the button at the point where it is enabled, you cannot directly click on it but have to move the mouse cursor. That's inconvenient. Other information:
are you sure this is happening with gtk+ 2.14? this looks like a duplicate of bug 56070 which has already been fixed in gtk+ 2.14. GNOME 2.22 shipped with gtk+ 2.12.
Yes, it is a duplicate. Thanks for noticing me about my version mismatch. And especially thanks to the whole team for fixing this long-standing bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 56070 ***
